The three latest school officials indicted in a corruption probe in the South Bay are mentioned multiple times in court documents outlining the cases against their already accused colleagues.

Sweetwater school board member Bertha Lopez’s name is peppered throughout existing search warrant affidavits and other documents, while fellow board member Jim Cartmill and San Ysidro School District Superintendent Manuel Paul’s names have appeared fewer times.

They are to appear in court Monday on indictments that have not yet been released. The District Attorney’s Office is building a case that officials took meals, sporting events, plays and other considerations in exchange for multimillion dollar construction contracts.

The trio are among seven officials charged on a variety of felony and misdemeanor charges ranging from filing false statements and perjury to soliciting bribes.

Former Sweetwater Superintendent Jesus Gandara, former board member Greg Sandoval and current trustees Arlie Ricasa and Pearl Quiñones were charged earlier this year and have pleaded not guilty.

The three newest officials charged have been represented by attorney James Pokorny, who has repeatedly proclaimed his clients’ innocence.

“Each of these people are hardworking civil servants who have served their community for decades, and it is a shame to see their reputations tarnished with false accusations,” Pokorny said.

Lopez, reached Friday, said she had been instructed by Pokorny not to speak to reporters. The Watchdog called Cartmill on his home and cellphone and left several messages that were not returned. Paul did not return several calls to his home for comment.
